Transforming Lives Through Jesus' Love
Providence began with a song of worship that was written and decreed and soon the vision was released within a team of Garden leaders as the Lord directed.
The mission and purpose of Providence is to proclaim and demonstrate the fullness and power of the gospel of Jesus Christ by bringing life changing transformation and to meet the spiritual, physical and emotional needs of the poor and homeless men, women and children in San Angelo and surrounding areas. Providence will implement, empower and equip through the fullness and power of Jesus Christ as the foundation, in order to prevent hunger, poverty, abuse, addictions, and mental illness and to improve the quality of people's lives by producing real change through the love of Jesus and by demonstrating and reflecting that love.

- Street Outreach: Weekly times of taking a team to the streets and ministering to the homelessand poor as well as handing out food bags, water, clothing and toiletries.
- Evangelism Outreach: Weekly outreach times to visit homes and apartment complexes handing out food boxes and sack suppers as well as ministering to the needs of the people.
